Race: White
Personal income: $30,000 per year.
Education: Bachelor's degree in Broadcast Journalism.
Religion: Lapsed Catholic
Occupation: Television Reporter
Age: 25
Marital Status: Engaged
Location: Syracuse, NY

Age, religion, and college degree suggest a liberal disposition, though that may have changed if they've spent enough time out of college and what news network they work for. Being engaged is neutral, but may suggest a less rebellious attitude. I would guess a moderately liberal but somewhat establishmentarian persuasion, probably a Cuomo fan.


This is based on a relative. You were right about the liberal disposition and being moderately liberal. Voted for McCain in 2008, intends to vote Obama in 2012.  Her favorite presidential candidate of her life time is Howard Dean. One thing you got wrong, however, is she hates Cuomo with a passion (I think due to his cuts in education).  Overall pretty good! Smiley

I'm gonna guess, if he's political at all, Democrat given he's young, non-religious, and from San Francisco.


Btw you pretty much nailed the person from my previous post. She votes republican in local elections a lot and has only voted republican for president 3 times since 1972 (1980, 1984, 2008).

Hmm. Probably a Libertarian or Conservative. He could either be an Independent or a Republican. Either way  he's on the right side of the spectrum.

Race: Asian
Personal Income: $260,000/year
Educational Level: M.D.
Religion: Buddhist  
Occupation: Neurosurgeon
Age: 43
Marital status: Married, 1 elementary school kid
Location: Katy, Texas

Probably Pub. Surgeons tend to be Pubs, and that trumps the Asian (what kind of Asian - Chinese, Thai, Vietnamese (more clearly Pub then), Korean?) Buddhist thing. And it's Texas. If he were a Lib, he wouldn't choose to live in Katy, Texas (Houston exurb) methinks. Nor would I of course. Smiley  Katy, Texas seems way too down market for the guy however. He must save a lot of money, particularly given that Texas has no income tax.
A couple of new hospitals.  He was recruited to head their Neuroscience department.  He actually lives in Cinco Ranch.

Yeah Torie, he would likely live in Cinco Ranch. If he was Indian (probably not due to the religion) then perhaps Sugarland. Those two places would are far more attractive to Asians than a place like Piney point village.

As for Angry Weasel's hypothetical persons, the first guy would likely be some sort of an independent considering the lapsed catholic and college education part vs the high income. Indian roller derby girl....does she really exist? Anyways, probably a socially liberal Democrat.

I wouldn't say very solid and very liberal Democrat. Most South Asians do vote Democrat but to suggest they are loyal or are that motivated to vote would be wrong. In this case, the guy is a pretty fiscally conservative Republican who hates the California state government and loves Texas. Also wants to legalize weed...

Skip me, answer koenkai's probably actually hypothetical person.

Archetypal conservadem.  Votes D locally, but R for president since 2000.  Would have stayed home after the 47% comment if not for union GOTV efforts.  He is starting to consider local R's after his miners' union endorsed a straight R ticket this year.
